The food comes out extremely fast almost predicting what we'll order and bringing it out 5 minutes later. I came here for dinner last night with some friends and heres my thoughts: Osmanthus honey pork ribs - never going to be disappointed with this Spicy dry fried egg plant - meat eaters and vegetarians will love it. order every time Limencello Shrimp - really good, I had one and its not for me but the shrimp eater at the table enjoyed it profoundly Spring River Fatty Beef - nope. I won't order again. I couldn't find anything to like about it. The texture was gooey, the flavor was a no. I'm calling a redo because of this one. Maybe mix with a lot of rice people like it? Tofu skin salad (cold) - my daughter really likes it. i can have a few bites but its not my favorite. Sichuan popcorn chicken - perfection. it's popcorn chicken. Scallion Bubble pancake - order every time. its huge comes with a vegan dipping sauce. easily enough for 3-4 people.

Everything was clean and had nice Chinese-style decor. As usual, I ordered mapo tofu and a hot and sour soup when trying a new Szechuan restaurant. The soup was excellent and came in a large portion bowl. The tofu came with minced pork (it can also be ordered without the pork) and it was delicious. They told me it wasn't usually that spicy so I asked for it to be as spicy as their regular spicy dishes. When it came out, it had excellent heat and my lips are still a bit tingly. Overall, a large Szechuan restaurant in this area that's worth a visit. Of course, authentic Chinese in this area is already crowded, but this one deserves some foot traffic love as well.

It tasted like it was double fried and the first time we had it it was fried but more moist. I hope it was a one off and not a permanent change. I am hesitant to order it again. The new things we tried: Scallion pancake - 4.5* delicious and crispy and fluffy and wonderful! Hong Kong Style Pork Ribs with garlic sauce - 4* I probably liked it the least but everyone else in my group enjoyed. I think I like beef ribs better.

We decided to order from a new place instead of traveling like we normally do back down to…read moreGermantown. Such a mistake!! I knew when I ordered the food it was going to be a problem. They allowed a person with a language barrier to answer the phone and I had to keep repeating myself several times but she knew how to ask how much I wanted to tip her driver before he even arrived. smh We ordered beef & broccoli (horrible) the meat was gross. Chicken fried rice...the rice box was so packed it came out in clumps and wouldn't separate. Chicken & shrimp lo mein...not one noodle was long. It's like they chopped them up for a kid. You couldn't swirl not one piece around on your fork & lastly the shrimp egg rolls...that's the only thing that was good. I really didnt like the fact that I asked for plenty duck sauce & soy sauce for 3 orders and they sent 4 soy sauces & 2 duck sauces. It's safe to say I will not be returning. We ended up throwing it out after taking a few bites and were out of $50 and a tip.

It wasn't the typical Thai basil flavor we expected, but he still really enjoyed the dish. Overall, we had another great meal and will definitely be back.

I don't remember any decor, but what's the most important? Food. I was pleasantly surprised by the cost to amount ratio and the taste. They executed the dishes well. I like their Potato Eggplant dish which isn't prominent in other Chinese restaurants in the area. It wasn't busy at the time we were there on a Friday night so we had excellent service. Our servers spoke English and Chinese. Attentive and the food came out really quick. Overall, I would come back. It's not a spot to impress or to dress up to go, but if you're hungry and want a casual Chinese food spot, that's also authentic enough to bring a Chinese person, this is definitely worth a try.

Bob's Shanghai has been on a bunch of best dim sum lists but it's a pretty far drive for us…read more Luckily we were in the area so we placed an order for pickup online. We ordered an Egg and Cruller Wrap, Scallion Pancake, Pork & Rice Shumai, Chicken XLB, Pan Fried Pork Buns, and Cucumbers. Order was ready on time but know that since its was a Sunday so it took around 45 minutes due to how busy it was. We really liked the Pork & Rice Shumai and the Pan Fried Pork buns were our favorites. Both filled really well. The Chicken XLB (like most carryout dumplings) kind of exploded mostly so we didn't get the best experience there but the flavor was good. The egg cruller wrap was solid but doesn't travel well. The scallion pancake was a little thicker/breadier than I'm used to. Cucumbers were solid. This place definitely needs to be experienced dine in, especially based on how busy their dining room was that day. If you're in a rush though, their takeout is solid.

A solid spot for sharing with a group, and I'd happily return to explore more of the menu. I really wanted to love this place. The soup dumplings are among the better ones in the area. While the wrappers aren't as thin or chewy as the very best, you can tell they're handmade, and I'll always appreciate that. I'd recommend sticking with the pork soup dumplings since they were rich, savory, and full of umami. The crab version unfortunately didn't have any noticeable crab flavor and tasted almost identical to the pork. The duck came in a generous portion and is a great choice for anyone who enjoys sweeter flavors. The watercress was fresh and plentiful, but it could have used much more garlic. We ended up adding the wonton chili oil and dipping it for extra flavor. The cucumber was delicious, but the portion was way too small. The bean curd was cooked well, though there wasn't enough pork for a dish that was supposed to feature it. The fish was another highlight with light spice, a crispy exterior, and perfectly cooked, tender meat. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try more dishes. I enjoy the home-style cooking, and it's the kind of restaurant that's especially fun to visit with a larger group so you can sample a variety of dishes.

After a long day outside, we decided to drive a bit further to Germantown for a Cantonese dinner. A…read morefew of us grew up eating Cantonese food, so we wanted the classics. The servers speak Cantonese, which was a good sign. We ordered food and a couple plates arrived within 5 minutes (!!) which was insanely fast. I think we got all of our dishes within 10 minutes of ordering. I'm not sure how they whipped it up so quickly. CHICKEN & CORN SOUP - 9.95 We got two orders of this since there were six of us, and each person was able to enjoy almost two bowls of the soup. This was more like egg drop soup at an American Chinese restaurant with some bits of corn and chicken. You really can't call this "chicken & corn" soup. There was lots of cornstarch to give a thick texture. Overall, it's not bad but I think most people can make a better chicken & corn soup at home. BARBECUE PLATTER (3 SELECTIONS) - 21.95 +bbq pork +bbq crispy pork +bbq roasted duck The bbq was fine, nothing to write home about. The bbq pork was vibrantly red, but flavor was a bit bland. The bbq crispy pork wasn't very crispy, but it had a good ratio of skin, fat, and meat. The bbq roasted duck was just fatty. SEAFOOD CHOW FUN - 14.95 Instead of the wavy egg noodles, the server recommended the flat rice noodles (hor fun) because she said it was better. There was a good amount of vegetables and seafood. Aesthetically, it looked delicious. It wasn't too oily, which is good, but it was pretty bland and lacked the "wok hay" flavor... Almost like they just lightly sauteed it on a pan. SAUTEED CHINESE BROCCOLI W GARLIC - 13.95 The texture was nice and crunchy, but again, very bland and no "wok hay" flavor. I ate it for health. EGGPLANT WITH GARLIC SAUCE - 11.95 The eggplant was incredibly saucy and flavorful, definitely the best dish we got. It was soft, tender, and creamy which went well with the garlic sauce. Our entire table agreed this was our favorite. KINGDOM PORK CHOP - 15.95 The sauce was a dark red and very thick. We knew without trying that it was going to be too overpowering and sweet. Indeed it was. Out of everything we ordered, this was definitely our least favorite because it was borderline inedible. I had high hopes since someone recommended New Village as one of the best Cantonese restaurants in the area, but it ended up being pretty mediocre. Like another review had mentioned, most dishes felt flat since the flavors lacked the "wok hay" depth we were looking for. The pricing was very good though since we paid less than $21 per person after tax and tip, and we had enough leftovers for at least two more meals.

Some pretty outstanding fish soup. Don't let yourself get fooled by the slightly random /…read morenonsensical name (even the Chinese name makes no sense to me -- what on earth does "no second / two house / family" mean?); B2J Fish Soup is home to one some of the best authentic Chinese food in the DMV. As the name implies, they specialize in fish soup, particularly a hot and sour pickled fish soup (suan cai yu) that originates from Sichuan. This dish was one of my childhood favorites, and B2J did an incredible job crafting a deeply flavorful soup that transported me right back to my family's kitchen. The soup is served in the largest bowls I've ever seen and absolutely loaded with pickled veggies and tender, flaky fish that completely soaks up all the spicy and sour flavor. I appreciate that the soup isn't overly spicy or salty, so it's possible to drink the actual soup instead of just fishing out its fillings, and it goes great with the side of white rice. Their meal combo options also come with several appetizers of choice so, in addition to the delightful suan cai yu, we also got the fried milk custard and wood ear mushroom salad. The salad was super refreshing, with a great crunch from the wood ear mushrooms and red onions. The dressing was mostly vinegar and chili-based, so it was sour, spicy, salty, and slightly sweet. It was a delightful precursor to the spicy and sour fish soup, and the leftovers also kept incredibly well over the next couple of days. The fried milk custard was a great appetizer but made an even better dessert; the milk was gooey and melty, and the fried outer shell was perfectly crispy. It was such a delightful combination of flavors and not overly sweet. This hidden gem is quite quaint, but they managed to fit a decent amount of seating inside, with several long tables lining each side of the restaurant and a narrow aisle in between. The seats are comfy and, while the tables are quite close together, there's still enough space to feel like you have a bit of privacy / separation from the other diners. I love the little bamboo light fixtures, and one of their back walls has a little semi-circle design that looks like fish scales, adding to the fun, fish-themed ambiance.

We loved the classic flavor- just enough spicy ( plenty enough for me), to make it not overwhelm the fish and still has a good kick. We did try their spicier one - that was too much spicy in our opinion, but the level of spiciness is a personal preference. Their non- spicy tomato base is also very good! The fish itself- not fishy at all. Very fresh, goes very well with the soup. The sauerkraut is very flavorful and enhances the experience well, not overpowering anything. It all goes in harmony to creat a great experience! Loved their cold spicy chicken as an appetizer and the cucumber salad with peanuts were very well received. And one more thing - their rice - is SO good! Yeah, odd thing to specifically mention rice of any Asian restaurant- this is my first as well! But their rice was just that good!
